Piers Morgan recently asked a panel of left-wing feminists to define what a woman is, which many would consider a simple and fundamental one, but left the women visibly flustered and struggling for an answer. As debates over gender and identity continue to dominate political discourse, Morgan's question exposed the contradictions within the left's increasingly radical stance on gender.
During a segment on an episode of “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Clementine Ford, a left-wing feminist activist, failed to answer Morgan’s question when asked to define what it means to be a woman.
“I have a question for you, Clementine. It’s a very simple question,” Morgan said. “But I think it’ll be an interesting question to ask you. What is a woman?”
Ford, initially reluctant, eventually answered that a woman is someone who has experienced fear from a man at some point in her life. Morgan then criticized Ford and other pro-transgender activists for refusing to acknowledge the real-world impacts women face when men enter their spaces and compete in women’s sports, pointing out the negative effects this has on women’s rights and opportunities.
“Piers, I’m not going down the path of debating trans women with you. Trans women are women,” Ford said, while Morgan pressed her to answer the question. “Okay, I’ll tell you. But I know that this is your tactic, this is what you do. What is a woman? I’ll tell you what a woman is. A woman is someone who, at least at some point in her life, felt scared of a man.”

“I come back to my question to you, your inability to say what a woman is, and yet here you are lecturing women on how they should behave as women is completely perverse,” Morgan responded.
“I think that reducing women specifically to your biological deciding of what you think a woman is,” Ford continued.
Morgan pointed out that being a man or a woman is biologically determined, stating that it’s a scientific fact.
“It’s their chromosomes. You have different chromosomes to me. It’s not me saying that, I’m not writing the science,” he said.
Ford then accused the panelists of being "obsessed" with defining trans-identifying men. In response, Morgan explained that people who raise concerns about the safety of women in sports or private spaces are unfairly branded as bigots. He argued that allowing men to compete in women’s sports is not only unjust but also endangers female athletes.
